‘Park and smile’ with Ben Launerts of KLAUS Multiparking

For over 30 years, Ben Launerts has been driven to set standards of excellence in the South Florida parking operations industry – and now he’s steering towards new heights of success as Director of Sales with KLAUS Multiparking. KLAUS manufactures “park and smile” satisfied experiences with stateof- the-art mechanical parking lifts revolutionizing the real estate development industry.

Headquartered in Germany, KLAUS Mutliparking, one of the world’s leading technical pioneers, introduced the first KLAUS car parking system in 1964. Today, as part of the winning team of KLAUS corporate leaders based in over 65 countries, Launerts is playing an integral role in heightening quality of life at premier communities benefitting from innovative lift parking systems. However, this opportunity would not exist if it wasn’t for the brilliant foresight of KLAUS Multiparking of Florida President Bruce Roden, who opened the KLAUS Florida distributorship in 2003.

“In South Florida alone, over 3,000 KLAUS parking lifts are already saving time and space at more than 65 properties – and many more installations are scheduled for developments including some of the newest luxury high-rise towers,” Roden said.

“Parking lifts are very efficient and desirable since they’re typically hidden inside a garage. Lifts also make it possible to fulfill parking site plan requirements utilizing much less space. Great cost efficiency is another big plus considering parking lifts can facilitate doubling allotted parking space for less than half the price of building additional ‘traditional’ spaces.”

More advantages of lift parking systems include: Small previously undesirable pockets of land that can now be developed; more space available for green areas; top-quality products with exceptional service life and intrinsic value; and low operating/maintenance costs.

The KLAUS brand of parking lifts currently dominates as much as 75% of the local market and elevates confidence with 25-year warranties. “KLAUS has had a ‘zero loss’ run in its entire 51-year history, so they’ve earned a stellar reputation for safety,” Launerts said. “Just some of the Aventura area properties that are satisfied KLAUS clients include Acqualina, Mansions at Acqualina, Chateau Beach, Turnberry Ocean Colony and Bella Mare at Williams Island.”
